Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central conflict revolves around a son's strained relationship with his supervillain father, ultimately championing universal themes of family reconciliation and self-acceptance, which are inherently apolitical.

The movie features a visibly diverse voice cast for its culturally inspired Lego characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on a traditional hero's journey and family themes, portraying traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit critique.

Secondary

The film features Nya, a skilled martial artist and ninja, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male opponents from Garmadon's Shark Army, often integrating her water abilities into her combat style.

The film positively portrays spiritual concepts akin to Buddhist philosophy, such as finding inner peace, self-mastery, and true potential, through the teachings of Master Wu and the heroic journey of Lloyd. These principles are presented as the path to overcoming challenges and achieving personal growth, with the narrative affirming their virtues.

The Lego Ninjago Movie does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on the relationship between Lloyd and his father, Lord Garmadon, and the ninja team's adventures, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.

The Lego Ninjago Movie does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative and character arcs are entirely focused on action, comedy, and family dynamics, without any elements related to transgender identity or experiences.

The film adapts characters from the "Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu" series. All established main characters, including the ninja, Master Wu, Lord Garmadon, and Lloyd's mother, retain their original genders as portrayed in the source material.

The characters in The Lego Ninjago Movie are Lego minifigures, predominantly depicted with yellow skin, which is a neutral, non-racial representation in the Lego universe. While the source TV series might have implied certain racial codings through cultural aesthetics or voice actors, the characters' race was not explicitly or visually unambiguously established as a specific human race in prior canon. The film maintains the yellow minifigure depiction.
